Abstract

Given a topological algebra A, we investigate when the categories of all rational A-modules and of finite-dimensional rational modules are closed under extensions inside the category of A-modules. We give a complete characterization of these two properties, in terms of a topological and a homological condition, for complete algebras. We also give connections to other important notions in coalgebra theory such as coreflexive coalgebras. In particular, we are able to generalize many previously known partial results and answer some questions in this direction, and obtain large classes of coalgebras for which rational modules are closed under extensions as well as various examples where this is not true.
